"gnomecc" hasn't choked on me, now, since I ripped the old screensaver
out of the control-panel package. "gnomecc" seemed to be the worst
offender. I haven't rebuilt all of gnome yet, though, so I'm not even
using gnome-session (But before, I could get gnomecc to crash without
gnome-session, even when it wasn't controlling much of anything).
I also have an idea to try to build gtk with xshm disabled. I suspect
shared memory because a lot a gnome spew seems to involve it, and gtk
support for it is outright broken in other ways, too -- you absolutely
cannot run any gtk apps on a remote server with a default NetBSD
installation, because stupid gtk doesn't allow for the fact that you
can't "share" memory between different hosts.
